Thanks you a lot LA. You wrote the most logic words I've heard in 5
years.
I knew that SSRI can't change your system magically. You confirmed me
what I suspected for a lot of time. Cipramil is still present in my
brain, tightly bound to the tissues and slowly released in the blood
stream ( mostly in the brain). It's like a chemical prosthesis and you
can't get rid of it.

Now I'm sure that I'm fighting against something real.

I will follow your suggestions for sure

And the circle closes: I can't stop from taking Zyprexa because it was
present from the very beginnig while I was taking Cipramil. And I
can't break the equilibrium because Zyprexa still neutralizes
Cipramil.

Your info are incredibly valuable for me, thank you again and thanks
to all who have replied.
